Transmisson will shift hard sometimes from complete stop or while traveling , mainly from complete stop or stopping at stop light and not a complete stop . Its like it is slipping. Now air bag light is coming sometimes when car is 1st crank. Dash is also coming apart. Car has 118,000 miles on it. Trasmission is worring me the most.

When accelerating from a stop, the transmission slips and then shifts hard (slams into the next gear) no matter how slow I try to take off. This happens no matter if I come to a complete stop or not but only happens when the transmission tries to go from 1st to 2nd. The problem occurs about 50% of the time. It doesn't matter how far into the drive I am. Happens when first started driving for the day and after a 40 minute drive. Vehicle only has 62,000 miles and the car is never driven hard!

While attempting to accelerate to avoid another driver, the transmission slipped. Instead of the car accelerating, driver was forced to swerve and hard brake forcing the vehicle off the road just barely avoiding an accident causing minor bruising on the children in the back seat. I more of these same complaints on your website and am told that chevrolet knows about this problem and has done nothing to fix it. The mechanic I talked to said that he has seen 3 of these himself and its usually the torque converter, and can't get an aftermarket one yet and people are replacing the entire transmission.

2006 chevy monte carlo ss, started to notice the transmission slipping at about 77,000 miles, when stopped and beginning acceleration it hesitates than lunges into gear while making a grinding noise at the same time..checked the transmission fluid and didn't notice any burnt fluid or particles in it....this incident repeated itself for 7 months and today it wouldn't go into drive or any of the low gears...its pretty obvious by all the complaints on various forums that this is a manufactures flaw! Disappointed!!!

When accelerating from a stop, the transmission (in drive) immediately shifts hard into second gear then slips a little before engaging. If I shift the gears manually, the transmission shifts normal. It does this only in drive and shifting between first and second gear. The fluid is clear, full and not burnt. The trans fluid was flushed about 4 months ago with no problems before now. The car has not been driven hard and has average amount of miles.

I have a 2006 chevy monte carlo ss with the ls4 v8 engine coupled to the 4t65hd transmission. The transmission ai starting to act up, missing shifts and slipping every once in a while. I understand that there are many others experiencing the same thing. My car only has 45000 miles on it and it has not been abused.

The transmission in the vehicle is know for catastrophic failure in several internal parts. Gm knowingly put a transmission that was rated for a v6 in a car that produces more horsepower and torque than the transmission is rated to use. The torque converter, clutch pack, and input shaft are all known to fail in these transmissions. I am currently experiencing several symptoms that are linked to these parts failures. I am going to repair the transmission very soon due to the weak points that gm failed to recognize early on in the development phases of the vehicle. The transmission often slips and gives hard shifts under normal driving conditions.

2006 monte carlo ss - 4t65e-hd transmission failure... Slipping... Shuddering/shaking the whole front end when shifting... Lunges/slams into gear... Had to get transmission replaced! There are over 100 other people I know in online car forums with the same problem with this transmission in their monte carlos, impalas, and gxp's. Starting anywhere from 20,000 miles to 90,000 miles... And some are on their 2nd or 3rd replacement transmission already!!

Internal radiator crack. This allowed the coolant and trans fluid to commingle thus causing the transmission to slip. It also had potential to damage many internal components. No external damage thus must be manufacture defect.

Transmission on vehicle slips at random intervals. Remote entry system works when it wants to. Air bag lights come on at random. Dealer has not been able to fix keyless entry or transmission slip.
